Importance of Web design and Development
Web design and development have existed for nearly as long as websites have existed. It used to have a much simpler definition because building a website was a much simpler process. When you compare the first website, which was launched in 1991, to modern websites, you can see how far websites have progressed. Creating and maintaining a website is more complex nowadays, requiring an entire ecosystem of roles and skill sets.
It can be difficult for designers to figure out where they fit in this ecosystem. This article outlines the major aspects of the website development process, providing a clear picture of your role, the roles of others, and the skill sets required.
Web design is the creation of a digital product (websites and apps). It may include User Interface (UI), User Experience (UX), and even Search Engine Optimization (SEO) (SEO). Overall, web design must consider a website’s or app’s usability, taking into account its layout (i.e., structure), visual aesthetics (e.g., colors and fonts), and, in some cases, content.
The process of creating websites and applications for the internet or intranets is known as web development (private networks). Web development as a process can include a variety of specializations, such as webserver administration, web engineering, network security configuration, and even web design. However, the term “web development” is commonly used to refer to coding or writing markups and does not always include design aspects.
To put it another way, is web design a subset of web development? Technically, yes, because web development encompasses everything that must be done to create a website or application. But, in everyday parlance, does the term “web development” imply “web design”? It frequently does not because it is a term used by professionals to describe writing code, markups, and other more back-end development-related tasks. As a result, web development and web design are sometimes perceived as distinct subjects, but this is not the case.
